Segnalo, la recente lettera pubblicata su FT a firma del
direttore del GCHQ
http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/c89b6c58-6342-11e4-8a63-00144feabdc0.html#axzz3I6mrRM5MLeggendo la lettera è inevitabile provare una certa
irritazione.
Si notino i seguenti passagggi:
"For our part, intelligence agencies such as GCHQ need to
enter the public debate about privacy [...] GCHQ is happy
to be part of a mature debate on privacy in the digital
age [...]"
"To those of us who have to tackle the depressing end of
human behaviour on the internet, it can seem that some
technology companies are in denial about its misuse. I
suspect most ordinary users of the internet are ahead of
them: they have strong views on the ethics of companies,
whether on taxation, child protection or privacy; they do
not want the media platforms they use with their friends
and families to facilitate murder or child abuse. They
know the internet grew out of the values of western
democracy, not vice versa. I think those customers would
be comfortable with a better, more sustainable
relationship between the agencies and the technology
companies."
Qui la risposta della Global Network Initiative (di cui
Nexa è parte)
http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/041b49e6-638a-11e4-8a63-00144feabdc0.html?siteedition=uk#axzz3I6mrRM5M"Co-operation between technology companies and governments
can and should play a role in addressing legitimate
security threats online. But when it comes to handing over
user data, or taking down content posted online, companies
have an equally important responsibility to respect their
users’ rights. That must entail a level of transparency
and accountability that has been glaringly absent from
GCHQ’s own conduct revealed by Edward Snowden. The
necessity and proportionality of any intrusion
into
privacy or free expression must be demonstrated, not
simply asserted in a “nanny knows best” way by an
unaccountable state."
